Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Professional Tennis Management] From Ferris State University

In 1986, the Ferris Professional Tennis Management (PTM) program was the first four year bachelor?s degree program to combine tennis and business. It remains the largest and the model bachelor degree program of its kind in the nation, placing 100% of its graduates since its inception and producing graduates that are tennis industry leaders.

PTM students receive a Bachelor?s degree in Business with a choice of any minor through Ferris' accredited College of Business. Its combined emphasis on tennis skills, training, and the management of tennis as a business, uniquely prepares its students to excel in the tennis industry and business. This program truly merges theory with practice by including three internships. PTM students receive on-the-job training by completing two paid outside internships at clubs, resorts and facilities all over the United States. The third internship is on-going at the university-owned and operated 19 court indoor/outdoor Racquet and Fitness Center that is managed by a USPTA Professional and used as a laboratory for PTM students. With a placement rate of 100 percent since its inception, the PTM program is a gateway to great career opportunities.
